That was when his Master returned. "Unless some changes take place at once, this planet is destined for destruction, I assure you." Qui-Gon had said as they both climbed back into the speeder.
As Kenobi climbed into the speeder he couldn't help but chuckle. "Whatever do you mean, Master?" Qui-Gon shook his head almost distraughtly, "Because their leader is an illusive tyrant."
As they both settled into the speeder, Kenobi couldn't help but snicker a bit more.
"What do you mean, Master?
Qui-Gon adjusted himself in his seat slipping either of his hands into the sleeves of his robe as he turned to talk to Kenobi.
"He says how he wishes nothing more then to have this planet rid of its crime, and yet he condones it."
Kenobi lifted a single eyebrow starting to feel as if his questions were running a bit on the repetitive side, but it had seemed his Master was taking more time then necessary to explain the situation.
"How so, Master?"
Qui-Gon lifted a hand to gently run it over his beard staring off into space for a moment before slipping his hand back into the sleeves of his robe.
"Directly in front of me, without so much as a glimmer of shame he was playing a game of sabbac and betting humans rather then credits."
"That does seem a little off balance."
Kenobi had said as he started the guidance of the speeder, bringing it into aerial traffic along with the rest of the speeders and transports swooping through the buildings of Navarus.
"I will have to make contact with the Council to see what they would like us to do about this…situation."
Qui-Gon had said before something would take them both off guard. A blood curdling scream near where the two Jedi currently were. One not be powerful in the Force to have sensed that one.
Like a moth to a flame, the Jedi fled to the scene only to find everyone surrounding a Twi'lek's dead body. Both had their light sabers ignited and ready to strike, but it had seemed the assailant had already fled the scene.
Qui-Gon knelt down by the body beginning to run his fingers over various parts looking for any marks that would give them a clue as to how he died. Kenobi meanwhile surveyed his blue hues amongst the crowd seeing if anyone had looked the slightest bit suspicious.
"What happened here? Did anyone see anything?"
Kenobi had said as a Rodian stepped forward nervously blinking its large black orbs as his small mouth formed together to speak.
"He just, fell over."
Kenobi had furrowed his eyebrows not seeming too satisfied with the Rodian's response. Appreciated as it was, this wasn't going to help in the least.
"Any blaster shots? Any explosion, anything? Someone just doesn't keel over."
Qui-Gon had been surveying the Twi'lek's back before he stood up looking confused, bewildered…all in all marveling in the current catastrophe.
"The Rodian is right, padawan. There isn't a single mark on this Twi'lek. No clues as to how he died, nor any sign of a struggle."
Kenobi hadn't believed his ears as he too knelt down to survey the body looking at the Twi'lek's face as he grimaced before speaking.
"And he most certainly didn't die of old age."
Qui-Gon stood a moment obvious thoughts roaring through his skull before finally a long in-take of breath was taken and he had made a final decision.
"We'll take him for an autopsy. If we are to discover whether or not this Twi'lek died of natural causes or someone who may have sabotaged him, only through an autopsy will we know the truth."
Qui-Gon bent down to pick up the Twi'lek by his shoulders as Obi-Wan needn't be told to grab onto the legs.
Later on Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan stood on the other side of a glass plate window peering in on the Twi'lek corpse in front of them as various medical droids took various tests, compiling all their data. Qui-Gon stood, lightly playing with the whiskers on the bottom of his chin, eyes focused and frozen on the corpse as Kenobi had his hands clasped behind his back and kept glancing from the corpse to his Master.
"Master, what if they find nothing? What if this Twi'lek truly died of unknown causes?"
Qui-Gon still looked on at the corpse through the window as he spoke to his padawan.
"These droids have nearly every case of medical mystery stored in their databanks; it'd be highly unlikely they would find absolutely nothing, padawan."
Kenobi had looked on at his Master the whole time he spoke before he too turned now to stare frozen in oblivion at the several droids diligently working to solve the Jedi's Twi'lek mystery.
"I just don't understand how someone could collapse, and suppose these droids do find an answer. What's our next move?"
Qui-Gon laughed lightly as he now turned to his padawan placing a hand on his shoulder and gave it a light squeeze.
"Patience, my padawan. One must know and embrace the present before leaping into the future."
Soon the small hovering droid would glide itself to the two Jedi as its tiny mechanical arms moved about as it talked.
"It appears his vital organs have decomposed."
Both Obi-Wan, and Qui-Gon had to both furrow their eyebrows at the droids response. Qui-Gon had looked from the corpse, and back to the droid now concentrating on one question of a million that were now swarming around in his brain.
"Decomposed? How is that possible? Organs only begin to decompose after death, and even after death they do not start decaying straight away."
Qui-Gon had slipped his hands into either of his sleeves yet again completely baffled at what the little droid had said to him. He was even beginning to doubt the knowledge of these medical droids himself. The droids mechanical arms still moved about as it continued to deliver the data the droids had compiled.
"It appears the organs were poisoned causing them to begin a rapid decay leaving no flesh wound."
Obi-Wan slipped his hands on his hips as the skin between his eyebrows formed into a huge wrinkle, his blue hues staring on at the droid in disbelief in an impatient urgency for answers.
"Poison? But what kind of poison could have caused this?"
"I'm sorry, but it doesn't appear on our records."
The droid had then flew off leaving a dumbfounded Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan to dwell in their thoughts, as Obi-Wan crossed his robed arms across his chest. His head lightly shook from side to side as he said:
"I've got a bad feeling about this."
